US-based financial technology and payments giant stripe, It looks like he has finally turned his face to the cryptocurrency industry.
The $100 billion company is preparing to give Bitcoin payments a new chance, which it removed three years ago due to slow transaction time and high transaction fees.
Stripe Builds Cryptocurrency Team
Looking at the job postings on Stripe’s website, it is seen that the company is looking for an experienced engineer in the crypto money industry.
Guillaume Poncin, head of the company’s engineering department, made a statement on the subject on Twitter, stressing that they are looking for engineers and designers who will “build the future of Web3 payments”.
This shows that Stripe can prepare its own cryptocurrency payment infrastructure in the near future, and the work has already begun. It does not go unnoticed that the interest in the crypto money industry has been steadily increasing lately.
Famous analyst Chris Neumann also emphasized the importance of the Stripe announcement, which came after Coinbase’s own NFT platform announcement, in a statement on Twitter and made a suggestive tweet.
Stripe announced a new Web3 payments team and Coinbase announced an NFT product this morning.
Probably nothing.

John Collison, the co-founder of Stripe, also made a statement on the subject and stated that both Stripe and the crypto money industry grew together.
Stating that the company will keep up with the developments in the crypto money industry for this reason, Collison also stated that they started to write code after the Bitcoin whitepaper was published, but they always looked at BTC and followed it. With the Stripe announcement, BTC payments can definitely take on a new dimension.
